Brings two years of Samsung CTO experience to Google

SAN FRANCISCO — Injong Rhee, a former chief technology officer at Samsung Electronics, has joined Google as an entrepreneur-in-residence to lead Google's Internet of Things (IoT) business, Rhee said in a blog posting on LinkedIn.

Rhee, who left Samsung in December after six years — including two as CTO and head of R&D, software and services — said in the posting that he will report to Diane Greene, CEO of Google's cloud computing unit, Google Cloud, and a member of Google parent Alphabet's board of directors.

Google, like virtually all tech companies, has been heightening its focus on IoT. Last year, Google introduced a service called Google Cloud IoT Core to help companies connect IoT devices to Google Cloud, manage them centrally and integrate them with Google's analytics services.
